Okay guys, I have a half formed idea for a family of pokemon based on the inventions of Nikolai Tesla. At the moment, I'm calling them Tescoil, Tesmitta and Tesray, in that order, though the names are well open for change. Tescoil is shorthand for Tesla Coil, based on the invention that would be most likely to be recognized and also the least 'useful' of the three: http://scottthong.files.wordpress.com/2006/12/coil.jpg.Tesmitta is shorthand for Tesla Transmitter, based on this giant tower he started building but never finished: http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/io9/2009/01/wardenclyffetower.jpg. The tower was supposed to transmit power wirelessly. Finally, Tesray is based on the death ray Tesla was supposedly working on when he died. Beyond that I have no idea. Not what they look like, nor their moves or what would serve to differentiate them from any other Electric pokemon family.

Hmmm... maybe they have an antennae that sends out electric waves to communicate. Or possibly they have really long necks like a giraffe

It seems likely. I suspected Electric for Tescoil and Tesmitta, and Electric/Light for Tesray, to represent the glowing death beam it can fire.

Long necks. Tesla coils don't need antennae to transmit, they use their large domes/discs to arc electricity as needed, so probably wouldn't be necessary here. The wireless transmission means that I might go for a move or ability which boosts power based on the number of other Tes-pokemon in the party.

Also, going animal-based adds a lot of character to it instead of just being based on "this machine", if you catch my drift.

Sides, I like the idea of giraffe-like tesla creatures. I think I could bring out my sketch pad and draw some of that, too. Three forms, you say?

Watch this space.

Right?

Seeing as they would probably communicate silently, I think their ability should be something involving evasion during double battles.

I can only hope Tesray ends up being a giraffe with a death-ray for a head and a Tela transmitter/coil on the back or something awesome. Maybe the Tescoil can be an okapi? The move from small okapi with a coil on it to a girafe with a tall transmitter neck sounds really cool, now that I think about it.

So far I'm looking at Static, Motor Drive, Volt Absorb, Illuminate as possible abilities.

I think that the death ray is just a little to silly... even for pokemon.

Why is that? A deathray can be cartoonified in all sorts of ways, or made into a really cool-looking pokemon. Heck, I've seen gun pokemon that look pretty good, so I'm not going to fault a death-ray, which you have far more creative license with.

The main problem is that: in pokémon battles, they combatants don't actually try to kill each other. The only thing that separates a death ray and a giant laser is the fact that a death ray kills things. If you remove the killing part, it's just a pokemon that's based off of a laser gun. But if you keep the killing part, you can have the death ray, but not the PG rating that Rule #4 of what qualifies an acceptable pokémon imposes. It's a paradox.

*rolls eyes* I guess you have a point. But I don't think it was ever intended that it really kills anything, it's just wicked sweet name. It will presumabley have the move Gamma Ray which is a PF attack.

Well, call it the other name it's been called, the Peace Ray :P Or even what Tesla called it, the teleforce. Doesn't matter to me what you call it, it's a beam that shoots things. If you call it a teleforce then the Pokemon presumably becomes Tesforce, though you could still call it Tesray I guess.

Sorry about the rant, it's just that if something is bugging me, then I'm going to say why.
Now that that's out of my system, I can actually give a suggestion for it. The head should probably be shaped like the ray instead of just being one stuck on it's neck... and for that matter, does anyone know of an actual generalized death ray design, one that a person could look at and go "that's a death ray" instead of "that's a big laser." It'd be important to be able to distinguish them so it's not confused with a giraffe that has a laser shaped head.

Ok, first off: IMMA FIRIN MAH LAZER!

Now that I got that out of my system, it's a really good design, especially the head neck and tail. Although I can't help but feel that it could be make more sense as a Pokémon if the body was organic and it was actually wearing this as armor. But even if we don't use that idea... I truly think that the head design (with a possible rearranging of the teeth so it can close it's mouth) would fit the top evo regardless.

(wipes away a tear) She's beautiful... OK touching moment over. Once again, it's a really, really good design, but I want to be clear what I had meant by the body being shown. The actual flesh and blood body would be visible where you just added grey. In other words if the pokémon was grey it would remain the same. But if it was colored like a real life giraffe for example, the spots that you added in would be yellow with brown spots. You know, just a way to show that it isn't purely mechanical. Of course it's Vagrant Lustoid's community project so it's really up to her.

Aww, you thought so too?? I think she is, but she's very sensitive about her appearance, poor darling... Some people think she looks SCARY, can you imagine??

I'm inclined to keep the grey body myself. But yeah, it's up to VL. Who's a girl apparently? I didn't know.
